The Google Store will be where most shoppers will start their search and has the most generous deal but here you’ll pay list price for the Pixel 2 phone at $649. Google slashed $150 off the $849 normal price of the Pixel 2 XL, bringing it down to $699. You can lower the price of either device with a smartphone trade-in. Google will give you up to $400 back for your trade-in when you buy the Pixel 2. Naturally, it’s the current-gen phones that will fetch you the most money.

T-Mobile doesn’t offer any of the new Pixels, so instead the carrier is paying you to leave Verizon and join T-Mobile.

Best Buy is currently shaving $300 off the Pixel 2 XL’s final price. That means you can get the 64GB Pixel 2 for $22.91/month (over a 24-month contract with Verizon). That amounts to a final price of about $550. You don’t get any freebies, so if you’re a Verizon customer you’re better off purchasing direct through Verizon.
